Tulku Sangak* Rinpoche

Watch this unique 30-minute “Golden Hour” interview, in which Lama Tsomo spends time in deep dialogue with Tulku Sangak Rinpoche.

Tsomo and Rinpoche also explore the ways that our world is in dire need of compassion and practice, today more than ever.

Khen Rinpoche is Tulku Sangak Rinpoche’s brother and spiritual heir. This special 10-minute video is excerpted from the Namchak eCourse, an eight-week multimedia course that introduces Tibetan Buddhist practice in an accessible way. In the video, he tells the story of his path to becoming a Khenpo and also provides an easy-to-understand explanation of how we can begin to recognize and bring awareness to our negative emotions.
